I paint my own crank baits but need to find some only get 8 to 11ft deep only sometimes most fish are 10 ft are little deeper,how far back would a Person need to pull these like 25 to 50 ft. Back and the stay 8 to11 deep.if any one have this knowledge would help,thank you for any help!
Believe it or not, I still caught some crappie on Ross Barnett in 12-14’ of water in what is considered a spawn/late spawn area pulling Bandit 300s 1.5 mph with waters between 80-90-deg F this past Saturday. They were on the smaller side that I filleted and had Korean BBQ style.![]()
If I'm not at work or taking kids to their activities, you might find me on "The Rez" fishing. If not there, I could be in the garage working on my boat.BuckeyeCrappie thanked you for this post
The links to the crankbait depth chart in CreekSlick's and SteveJ's posts are all dead ends. . . can someone please post the Bandit 100-200-300 depth chart? Would really appreciate it!!! I see jholl2277's picture, but am interested in seeing the 20-25' depth line lengths. . . Thanks in advance.

I can't find a chart on the web anywhere. . . Looking to get my Bandit 300's down to 20'. Does the chart in jholl2277's post show anything beyond what is posted? Anyone tried a worm weight ahead of the swivel to get them deeper?
Scott V started a post about using in-line sinkers for pushing cranks. I checked the first 20 pages of this thread and didn't see it. Don't know if his chart is here or another thread.
Keep us posted as you advance in your search.
BellRinger LIKED above post
75 ft will get you to 13.5 deep . I would guess 85-90 I always started 65-75-85 on both sides . Catch 5 at any two poles migrate to split those two . Hardly ever found two peoples poles calibrated the same due to different reels , amount of line on reels , line size ect.
While I have put out as much as 120' of line (according to the line counter reel) to get a Bandit 300 deeper, I'm not fond of going out to 200' of line. You'd have to use weights and then add the distance/depth for both the weights and lure in the combo. I typically use the Precision Sonar app to get this info, and for any combos, I calculate it out using that data and put it into my own personal spreadsheet.
